CALENDAR.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I,

endars, cation. p

The object of my invention is to provide a calendar `structure or' calendar carrying structure in which ofwhich the following is a specifirent month may be readily displayed, with additional means whereby `the days ofthe" current week may lheclearly distinguished from the days of thefpreceding and succeeding weeks. 1

My invention may beeinb'odied in holder frame or casing to be employed as a desk'calendar, or, with suitable modication within the scope of my invention it `may be employedfas a wallcalendar.

These and other features of my invention described hereinafter, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which: i

In the drawings, l represents a suitable casing which may be substantially"pyramidal in form, of the shape shown in Figs. l, 2 and 3, or that shown in Fig. 4; such casing having a sight opening 2 through which the calendar dates are displayed. Within the casing are rollers 3 and 4 upon which an endless strip 5 may be wound; such strip carrying the calendar dates which are displayed through the sight opening 2. The dates are displayed in continuous vertical lines in regular order, Sun., Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., and Sat., while at the left hand margin ofsuch strip the months may be indicated. A card-or backing 6 may be Specification of Letters Patent. p f Application filed March 9, 1916. Serial No. 83,072.

CARL B. COOK, a citi- Y zen of the United States, and a `resident of "Haddonlield, Camdenicounty, New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Caly thirteen weeks,

months or'portions of months preceding and succeeding the cur-` sheet,

`space through which sectional view on 4the Patented` July 22, 1919.

employed to keep thecalendar strip pressed forward, and this may bebacked by a suitable brace as shown at 7.

The sight opening 2 of the casingl 1 is of such a size as to exhibit the days covering a `period of one quarter of the year or and one object of my invention is to display at the center of suoli sight opening the current week; the days or dates of six. weeks before and six Weeks after the current week being shown above and below the same.

A particular object of my invention is to clearly display or emphasize the days of the current week, and to this end various means may be employed. In Figs. l, 2 and 4, 6 represents transparent sheets of Celluloid or the like which are of a shade or tone other than thel shade or tone ofthe calendar preferably darker, and these sheets stop above and below `the current week disposed substantially at the center of the sight opening, so as to leave 4 a clear the `latter is exposed.

In Fig. 3, I have shown the sight opening provided with a continuous sheet of transparentv material 8, having shaded portions Sb above and below the current week, and a plain central portion 8c through which the current week may be viewed.

Iii lieu of employing transparent material shaded so as to partially obscure the days or dates before and after the current week,`I may leave the. sight of the calendar frame or carrier structure entirely open and place partitions inthe form of substantially horizontal strips or bars 9, arranged above and below days or dates of the current week and, if desired," one of such strips may carry the names of the days of the week above the respective dates. Suchl arrangement may be employed with a desk calendar structure, or with a wall calendar structure, as may be desired. In the,use of my invention with a wall calendar structure, this can be readily arranged by mounting a calendar sheet or strip 5EL upon a suitable card or other structural support lO which will be cut or slitted as indicated at 10a, 10b, 10c, so that the calendar sheet 5a may be threaded in and out of the cuts; the latter cuts or slits being so disposed as to provide bars 9a between which the current week is positioned or displayed. In the preferred form of construction wdar, asingle roller Semay be employed at the :top ofv the sheet, card, for other: support fia 10, or the bulk of thefcalendar sheet may 'be rolled up and placed inasuitable recep- Atacle suchas the housing 12, illustrated in jFig.A 6. 'If desired, sections ofthe calendar ystrip representing single weeks Amaybe torn -off thebottom ofthe same as-A said=strip is "moved regular intervalsI 4to `bringA sucsnap -zmounted in aiiap whicliinay lne-integral iandinsertfresh calendar strips, and

cessive weeks into view' between the bars 9, The casing is preferably made so that the back 13 may be opened tohreinovethe"old for the f'purpose f of holding the back Vin place a catch 111 may be employed, carried-at the-baseof the casing. This catch may be offtlieusual character, L the socket portionbeing l-witlrtlie bottom y16. AThis bottom'may also be i movable 3, being hinged-ly connected "to the affacejfportion of lthe casingto facilitate-'the A 'insertion and iemovalof ytliecalendar strips.

Vhile I have sho-wn `the dates arranged in lsubstantially i Vhorizontal =lines with -means horizontally disposed for prominently dislaying the current week, it will bel underf stoodthat the arrangement yofr such Idays or 1 dates may be f changed, and'- that they may read iir'substantially vertical lines.

It will also' be understood' that 1ny-invention-may be employed to bring into prominence any.,

weekfline desired, or the current'weekFof an ordinary month sheet,and that in 4some ini' stances the emphasizing or week] date line to relat'vely fixed exposing-meansmay be movable with respect calendar sheet i or strip. I claim: I
